Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones teased a Normal People 2 but is the second season confirmed?

In 2020 Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones broke our hearts in the most beautiful way possible with the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney's novel Normal People.

Normal People is a complicated love story between popular teen Connell and bullied wallflower Marianne. And now, four years after the series captured the hearts of so many, the lead actors teased a second series.

After the first season came out, Daisy hinted to the possibility of a second season, saying: "I kind of imagine that [Marianne] moves in with Lorraine [Connell's mum] and they have quite a happy, little life together!"

So will we find out Marianne's fate after all? Here's the truth of it.

Is there going to be a season 2 of Normal People?

Not yet, sadly! Daisy and Paul teased fans with the prospect of a Normal People season two when they shared a selfie to Daisy's IG story of them both holding up two fingers.

Over the image, text read: "We've got some news to share !! Watch this space." After she posted the picture the production company behind Normal People, Element Pictures, shared the pic with Daisy's IG handle and looking eyes emoji.

But the news wasn't what we predicted, instead the pair have teamed up again to promote a Normal People marathon screening raising money for the Humanitarian aid charity UNICEF as well as Pieta House an Irish suicide and self-harm therapy service.

Over on Element pictures' Insta the marathon screening was announced for Sunday June 16th at the Central London Cinema. The screening is going to be eight hours long from 9.30am to 5.30am and will be followed by a Q&A with the cast of Normal People.

Daisy and Paul apologised for 'leading people on' about the possibility of a Normal People season 2, "it's not a season 2" Paul admitted before Daisy chimed in saying: "Not yet, there's still time, keep the faith."

Tickets to the event are available via a raffle system where you donate for the chance to win entry to the screening.

We might not be getting a season two anytime soon but the first season of Normal People is still available to be streamed on BBC iPlayer plus you could win the chance to watch it all day long in the name of charity!
